Skip the been-there-done that witch, ghost, and vampire costumes this year and dress your little ones in homemade culinary-inspired costumes. Their delicious duds will be the hit of Halloween and the talk of trick-or-treating.

With a few simple supplies, a bit of imagination, and a touch of craftiness, you can make creative cuisine couture for your little boils and ghouls. But, if you feel you're too short on time, or can't cut the mustard with crafts, you don't have to miss out on the fashionable food fun. Just wrap your kid in aluminum foil and call them a burrito!

We did purple balloons for grapes one year, poor kid couldn't sit but it was cute.

One year, when we were teenagers, friends of mine needed some impromptu costumes, so we pinned a bunch of those single-portion cereal boxes to one and stabbed each of box with plastic cutlery. Voila: "Cereal Killer"! Another wore a jumbo clear plastic garbage bag filled with multi-coloured balloons to be a bag of jelly beans. Amazing what you can dream up and create 20 minutes before a party using only stuff you can grab at the 7-11!
